2:06 am
adam shapiro from the fox business network joins us to explain. it doesn't feel like spring either. mother nature isn't listening. >> economists aren't listening because we're getting data that indicate things would not be as strong as we would like. yesterday we got the a.d.p. report which says private sector job creation was 158,000. we were expecting 200,000. tomorrow when we get the unemployment situation, the labor department's unemployment numbers, people are nervous. it is not just that report from a.d.p. that has them nervous, but also the fact we're seeing a slowdown in other survey. i.s.m. puts out a survey of different kinds of manufacturers. orders are slowing down. bottom line? people are worried the economy is slowing down this spring. >> now to someone, or at least a band nowhere near slowing down, rolling stone, new ticket prices --

2:34 am
but south korea believes one long range missile has been moved. the intentions of north korean dictator kim jong un are still very much in question. u.s. defenses if the region include ship and land based interceptor systems. one has been moved to guam as it is acknowledged north korea has nuclear capability. >> some of the actions taken over the past few weeks present a real and clear danger and threat to the interests of certainly of our allies starting with south korea. >> the threat for now is largely regional. north korea does not possess the kind of missile technology it is widely believed to actually reach the united states. but even a strike in this region could cause mayhem. >> i think in terms of reaching the united states, that that's unlikely to say the least, and possible probably. but it's not to
2:35 am
underestimate north korea's capability to do something to south korea or japan. i think the that the risk of this increasingly belligerent rhetoric, they're well past prior north korean play books on this. >> but so far we haven't seen any major troop movements in north korea, and that may be a sign that the latest provocations are simply bluster. >> here's the thing: we don't know that much about kim jong un yet. thank you, doug. time now to take a look at who is talking. yesterday president obama delivering a speech on gun control. his backdrop? police officers. >> not everyone is pleased with the president's choice of location and that backdrop. larama county sherrif tells greta van susteren he feels his state has been used as a pawn. >> these officers have a job to do, should be used

2:44 am
>> good morning. it is 44 minutes after the hour. let's span the globe to see what stories are making headlines overseas. first to afghanistan. that right there is one of the deadliest insurgent attacks since the afghan war started. taliban fighters disguised as afghan soldiers storming a government compound leading to a seven-hour standoff. at least 44 people are dead
2:45 am
including the 9 attackers. next to russia, and that's where a high rise goes up in flames. luckily it was before it was finished being built. the apartment building was empty at the time. it's part of a new luxury complex funded by the nation's capital. the cause of that fire is under investigation. >> finally to germany, where a potentially dangerous situation as a live bomb from world war ii is found at the capital. it was a soviet-made bomb and it was found by workers at a building site in berlin just about a mile from the city's train station. trains were delayed and the neighborhood was evacuated until experts were able to defuse that bomb. heather? >> it's time for a segment we like to call what the hill? when you hear these stories, you will know why. americans could be hit with a surprise bill courtesy of obamacare. under the president's plan, any government subsidies you receive to buy health
2:46 am
insurance is based on your current income. however, if your income increases next year, you will qualify for the smaller subsidy and will be forced to pay back the difference. and tens of thousands of people will be hired as navigators to help people choose obamacare options starting october 1. it's not going to be cheap. plans show those navigators will be paid between $20 to $48 an hour. >> those folks certainly wouldn't be poor, but president obama continued to say that the economy is on the road to recovery, but listen to this. there is new data out there that shows that the number of americans living in poverty has spiked to levels not seen since the mid-1960's. >> diane macedo from the fox business network has the details. >> the u.s. census bureau says as of january nearly 50 million americans, one in six, were living below the poverty line, including 20% of american children. that means the poverty rate
2:47 am
has grown from 14.3% in 2009 to now almost 17% of the country. and the number of americans participating in food stamp programs have also nearly tripled over the past decade. while some reports are warning that the sequestration cuts are bound to make this worse, it's interesting to note that these numbers all worsened amid a massive increase in spending to fight poverty. federal spending on the poor hit more than $569 billion in fiscal year 2011. that's a 5,500% increase from 1907 which far outpaces inflation. in the past two years the federal government spent more than $1 trillion on programs for the poor and yet the percentage of working americans is down and the rate of americans living in poverty which for a family of four means earning less than $23,021 a year, continues to climb. while spending cuts may make matters worse, it seems spending increases aren't making them better. >> thanks so much, diane. >> the time now is almost
2:48 am
ten minutes till the top of the hour. still ahead, it sounds like an open and close case: criminals caught on camera doing this: using drugs, playing with guns. but there is one problem. it's happening behind bars. >> one of these things is not like the other. the l.a. lakers making a major mistake when retiring shaq's jersey. we'll tell you about that. but first let's check in to see what's coming up on "fox & friends." >> good morning, ladies. coming up, after disagreeing with coach lou holtz of notre dame, brian will try again to make his case for getting money for college athletes with professor barney better thanstein. plus john stossel. yesterday we showed you the zesty guy from the kraft ads. today you'll meet him live. then anna kooiman live at cirque du soleil. kicks off 11 minutes from
